Mounting custom mudflaps

Those of you that have "custom" mudflaps, how did you mount them in the rear? I'm trying to be creative since the third screw is offset, but I'm not sure if the screw is actually necessary or not.

It's for a turbo. And I sucked it up and bought it. And proceeded to break ANOTHER piece when installing it, and the hoses attached to it will break if I try to remove them too, UGH! Oh well, I ordered those parts too, probably 90% of my ancient vacuum lines will have been replaced when that gets he...

Elaborate.
Quality? I had a magnaflow cat, it was made of cheesy metal, and the heatshield started rattling within months, I ended up just taking out the cat completely.

Magnaflow is garbage, there's more to it than sound and performance. And assuming you can't weld it yourself, you aren't saving much money once you get it all welded up.

Anything TVR is automatically a thumbs up for me :D

But it will be a nightmare to maintain, may be ok as a weekend car though, but parts will be extremely hard to get as well.

Apex3, not to be a jerk, but I don't care much about an airbox. My Honda's air filter is without question the easiest air filter to change in world history. Next time I do it, I'm going to time myself. I can do it in 10 seconds. I know I can. Does that mean I want to change an A/C compressor on it?...

It's exempt after 25 years, not 20. And if it's similar enough to a car sold here, you can get said compliance letter if it hasn't been 25 years already. There's several cars getting close to the age, so I've read a lot about importing cars. ie r32, Trueno, and Lancia Delta Integrale Some companies ...

Any reasonable place to buy this boot?

Part number 46023aa110 It's the piece that goes from the intake manifold to the resonator box, and has two hoses coming off of it. Subaru wants $100, and so does subarugenuineparts.com but that's ridiculous! Basically the same piece on my e30 was $10. Mine's old and a piece cracked off so I need one...

Man, you guys really think it sits too low? I sit wayy too high with my seat all the way down, it bother's me so much. In my e30 I sat a couple inches off the floor, the sport seats are about a third as high as the SS seats adjusted all the way down. I feel so awkward driving this thing sometimes.
